Overview:
The Bible is clear on the issues of humility and pride. God wants His people to be humble, and God opposes those who are proud. Pride and humility cannot peacefully coexist. Over time, one will destroy the other. The believer must wrestle against pride and pursue humility.
Jesus is the model for all of this wrestling and pursuing. He showed us the path of true greatness, not by coming to be served, but rather by coming to serve. Having ransomed His people, Jesus then calls His disciples to follow His example of humble service.
This book offers helpful insights for any Christian leader, including pastors, elders, deacons, teachers, professors, and even parents.
